Experience

Obtained dismissal with prejudice of a high-profile case filed against a group of investors who secured zoning approval for the construction and operation of a firearms safety training and firing range in suburban Chicagoland, described as the "Apple store of the firearms industry." An advocacy group sued in an effort to stop the project, arguing that the zoning approval unconstitutionally violated the rights of neighboring property and business owners. The years-long trial and appellate court litigation centered on issues relating to the Second Amendment, the Illinois Constitution, zoning challenge standing, and separation of powers between the judiciary and the municipality that approved the zoning ordinance.
